Like most Music Producers these day, I receive most music submissions via email.
A growing trend I see amongst artists submitting music to me, is to email me a link to their music on a 3rd party sight. At this music site, I have to search for the artist or sign up for the site to hear the song. This is not good!
Now I know that all these musician sites and “Music Insider Sites” are telling you to use their service, host your music on their site and send out links to your music on their site, but this is good for them, not for you.
A lot of the Music Producers, Music Supervisors and Music Publishers I know will automatically ignore your music submission if you do this. Think about it, if every day you got twenty links to different music sites that required you to sign up and search for the artist you are trying to listen to, you wouldn’t have time for anything else. So, you no do this!
Make it easy, make an MP3 of your best song and attach it to an email. This way we can open your email and hear your music right away.
In the past attaching an MP3 was taboo, but now most email accounts accept up to 20mb attachments. Your average 4 minute song is equal to just under 4mb as an MP3 at 128kbps. This is acceptable.
Give yourself every edge you can! Drop a few my way is a great mp3 conversion tool I have mentioned in the past. With Drop A Few My Way, It’s easy to convert audio files to MP3s and it’s FREE!
